In the Belgium cities of Ghent, Antwerp and Brussels, sunglass brand Ray-Ban has launched a new campaign that redesigned the trams into “Ray-Ban Test-Drive Trams”.



To promote Ray-Ban’s latest range of polorized color lenses, ad agency DDB Brussels have layered nine colored filters over the windows of the trams, giving commuters a taste of what it would be like to see through the new sunglasses.



Other than giving tram-riders unique city views without Instagram-like filters, the campaign also encourages them to take pictures through the filtered windows and upload them to social media platforms like Instagram with the hashtag “#nofilterjustrayban”.

After a year of Making Colorado—a collaborative project that aimed to create a brand for Colorado—its state officials have finally unveiled the brand logo.



With inspiration drawn from the state’s license plates and its natural surroundings, the new logo features a green rounded-edged triangle with a white snow-capped peak and the letters “CO” in white, and “Colorado” spelled out in capital letters beneath the triangle.



The brand is also accompanied by the slogan, “It’s our nature”, and represents the state’s famous mountains and “continued ascension”.



According to a video by Brand Colorado, the rising peak “symbolizes our bigger-than-life beauty and our upward momentum as a people and a place.”



What do you think of Colorado’s new logo? Does it accurately depict the state you know it to be?

Have you ever experienced the feeling of déjà vu, but can’t seem to explain it?



In the following video by Michael Molina from TED Education, he seeks to explain this strange phenomenon.



“You might have felt it—the feeling that you’ve experienced something before, but, in reality, the experience is brand new,” wrote the video’s description. “There are over 40 theories that attempt to explain the phenomenon of déjà vu.”



“Michael Molina explains how neuroimaging and cognitive psychology have narrowed down the theories that could explain that feeling you’re having… again.”

In Japan, A ‘Disappointed Cat’ Is The Feline Of The Moment

Like his predecessor Grumpy Cat, Foo-Chan’s gloomy disposition has gone viral in an online Japanese forum.



Dubbed “Disappointed Cat”, the three-year-old Chinchilla Golden has a heavy-set brow which causes him to look like he is depressed all the time.



The Japanese have taken to his appearance, calling him “cute but troubled”, and, like Grumpy Cat, his all too human expression of perpetual sadness makes us all relate to him.



What do you think—is there room for another sad cat, or is Grumpy Cat still the champ?

To promote the creative imagination in kids and keep them entertained, McDonald’s—with the help of DDB Singapore—has reimagined its tables in its restaurants to create the ‘Happy Table’.



The Happy Table is an NFC-enabled table that lets kids play custom games on its surface, by simply tapping the table with a smartphone.



Currently only available at its Yishun, Singapore outlet, the table contains McDonald’s-themed mini games, such as Battleship, burger making, and a car game where kids can move the phone along the table to drive the car.



The fast-food giant plans to roll out these tables throughout Asia soon.



Check out how the Happy Table works in the video below:
